Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband ( Cora Lane ) - Season 5 Episode 16

Byron suddenly began to associate Cora’s recent gloomy mood with the investigation Gabe was

conducting…

“Should we stop him?” Carter asked.

“No need. You can’t hide from what should come.”

Byron glanced over at the woman who Nora had brought along to join their card game, his eyes

flickering with mixed emotions.

Once he finished his call with Carter, he approached Cora.

Seeing her drawing some great cards but playing it poorly, he raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t you know how to play cards?”

“Well, I’ve never learned it before. I was afraid of losing all my money.”

With her previous focus on studying medicine and Flora draining up all her free time, she hadn’t had

the chance to learn these things.

“Don’t worry. We’re all family. Winning or losing stays within the family!” Nora added, “Tonight, if you

lose, it’ll count as my loss, and if you win, it’ll be yours.”

“But that’s not fair for you.”

Cora had overheard their conversation earlier and knew that this single game could cost at least the

price of a limited-edition designer handbag.

If she lost too much, Nora would suffer significant losses.

“It’s fine. I’ll teach you. In this game, you start by discarding these two…” Byron stood behind her,

slowly teaching her how to play.

Cora was a quick learner, and after a few rounds, she grasped everything.

Later on, Byron took a phone call and dealt with a few contracts.

Seeing Byron leave, Eason was thinking about going over to help Cora.

However, Cora said, “Nephew, if you want to play cards, you can play by yourself.”

Eason felt frustrated. He had only wanted to help Cora while Byron was away because she might not

know how to play alone.

But, of course, he also wanted to leave a good impression on her.

However, Cora had taken his good intentions as nonsense and even called him nephew.

It was simply humiliating!

So when Ben needed to use the restroom, Eason took the opportunity to step in.

He was full of spirit, intending to teach Cora a painful lesson and make her beg him to go easy on her…

When Byron returned after handling urgent documents, the card game was already over.

“Nobody is playing anymore?” He asked.

“No, Eason’s fortune has practically been emptied by your wife,” Ben joked.

Byron looked slightly surprised and glanced at Eason.

Eason was sitting slumped on the couch, dejected.

He had intended to teach Cora a painful lesson but ended up being taught a lesson himself.

In just one night, she had stripped him of nearly two years’ worth of hard-earned money.

Byron jeered at Eason. “It’s just a few bucks, and it’s not like you lost to someone outside the family.

Why be embarrassed losing to your aunt?”

The others present exchanged glances.

They all felt something harsh when Byron said Cora was Eason’s aunt.

Not to mention Eason himself, whose face had darkened immediately.

When he glared at Byron, his eyes seemed to have reddened in anger.

But Byron, seemingly unaware that he had hurt Eason, continued, “If you’re so attached to that little bit

of money, I’ll pay for you.”

As clever as Byron was, he could see through Eason’s intentions when he started playing immediately

after Byron left.

So, it was necessary to give him a warning.

Although he also knew that Cora would never get back together with Eason, he couldn’t help but want

to mock Eason after knowing that he still wanted Cora back after all the shameless things he had done.

Eason had lost so much money and already felt humiliated in front of Cora.

Now, being mocked by Byron in front of everyone only added fuel to his anger.

But what Eason knew very well was that he couldn’t afford to offend Byron.

So he could only indignantly say, “No need. I can afford it!”

Then, he left the Hansen Mansion before anyone else.

Once he left, the others began to disperse as well.

When Byron left with Cora, she was still holding her phone, counting the remaining balance of her bank

account.

“Why are you so excited about such a small amount of money?” Byron somehow sounded a bit

annoyed.

It wasn’t because he looked down on that sum of money. Rather, he didn’t like that it came from

Eason’s pocket.

However, Cora’s joy came precisely from taking that money away from Eason.

“You don’t understand! It’s not about the amount of money. I’m thrilled because I managed to win the

money of that scumbag!”

Seeing Cora’s charming appearance, Byron suddenly asked, “If there ever comes a day when you hate

me, would you also go to any lengths to get back at me?”
